I grew up on a farm in Idaho and do not remember having books around much as a child. I was a good reader, and read everything that was assigned at school, but it didn't occur to me that people would read for fun. I didn't see others reading outside of school and did not even have a library in my elementary school where I could check books out and take them home. Not having books around in my early years has given me a passion to make the library I work in a space that everyone will appreciate and enjoy spending time in. I believe the library isn't just a place of reading but a place of curiosity, exploration and gathering. I truly believe it is the heart of the school and I will do everything I can to make our library a place that touches the hearts of all those that enter the doors.
